great post man

WHERE IS THE FUCKING S-DUCTTTTTTTTTTTT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Never Ever.
Yeah, makes me think you're a faggot.

Question
Jet in OP's picture is mig or something? I'm damn green in jets and stuff like that, but for some reason it reminds me of mig
>>29978010
Somewhat. It's a sukhoi, which is part of UAC (United Aircraft Corporation,) just like Mikoyan is.
>>29976530
>implying russians don't know how to s-duct
a fucking mig-15 had an s-duct
straight intake = superior power, speed, range.
RCS can be somewhat reduced by applying RAM on ducts and compressor blades.
boeing silent eagle too has visible blades and yet it's marketed as stealthy.
Why does russian jets/helis have light blue cockpit color?
>>29978509
>RAM on compressor blades
fucking kek
no.
>>29978564
they already did that on su-35
>>29978523
>You see Ivan, when cockpit looks like sky camouflage is more effective
>>29978523
this color has a calming effect.
hospital equipment is often in shades of green for the same reason.
>>29978573
They really, really didn't.
Blades in jet engines are pretty much the most difficult and demanding part, and at the cutting edge of material science. You don't apply RAM coating to them.
>>29978573
what we are implying is that it doesn't fucking work, and now you have a high maintenance compressor blade to check on all the time.
>>29978613
you're thinking of turbine blades, not low pressure compressor stage
>>29978627
What makes you think compressors are low pressure?
>>29978010
It is the Su-T50. It comes from the Sukhoi design bureau.
It reminds you of a MiG-29 because of the general layout of the engines in relationship with the airframe.
>>29978613
>>29978615
It will work when you make the compressor blades in the front/cold section of the engine out of composite materials (With RAM mixed into the blades, not just applied to the surface) instead of exotic metal alloys.
>>29978573
No, the AL-41F1S doesnt have RAM applied to its compressor blades. It wouldnt be that effective and like the previous posters allready have mentioned, it will be hyper maintenance heavy.
>>29978597
It is. It Soviets, afterall. Everything they did had scientific and math approach, including cockpit painting.
>>29975796
Vatnik will defend this.
>>29975796
I heard it was canceled because Russian economy collapse.
>>29978678
I'm sure you can do it, and it will probably help a bit, but thinking for a second that exposing a giant hanging blade made of composites and RAM is going to have a similiar RCS to an S-Duct. The S-Duct is the superior solution to engine masking, decreasing cost of engine material, maintenance, as well as the RCS.
Have any of you ever sat in the cockpit? Ever?
>>29978750
>S-Duct is the superior solution to engine masking, decreasing cost of engine material, maintenance
That depends on the engine actually. Engines need to be designed in line with the air ducts that feed them.
I have a strong suspicion that the primary reason the PakFA has such ducts is that their engine is an AL-31F derivative and not suitable to the different constraints of an S-duct.
With the new engines I suspect there is a possibility that we will see an S-Duct on the FGFA variant for the RuAF and IAF.
>>29976530
Kek, 34 was a massive piece of shit. Had constant APU problems, code 3 on almost every flight.
Ended up being a cann jet/hangar queen for about 6 months.
Why does piloting soviet jets and helis feels like controlling a house? Like cockpit totally feels like you're looking through your room's window
>>29979154
Yes, in DCS: World
>>29984072
For maximum cozy
>>29984072
tovarish, because situation awareness is overrated )))))))))
>>29978597
>>29978523
so why does the US and brits paint their cockpit grey + black
>>29985097
Because who cares about pilots their paid anyway
>>29985097
Because grey adapts to any other color. It will look either dark or light, depending upon the color next to it.
Black absorbs light and is an absence of color.

It's true for any colour.
>>29985643
I know right?
Even China can make them for thier miltirary crafts. Pic relarted, China plane.
>>29985836
>not even a full s-duct
pretty pathetic russia

Yeah.
